Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

This template uses Lua:

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Infobox baseball biography/styles.css

This template can be used to add at-a-glance comparative information to articles on professional baseball players in any league. It is derived from {{Infobox MLB player}}, which now redirects here.

Team colors are added to the infobox automatically when a team is entered into the team field. The colors are taken from Module:Sports color/baseball.
